Classic Movie Legend Tribute: James Cagney

Happy Birthday to Classic Movie Legend, James Cagney, born July 17 in 1899!

Triple threat: Singer. Dancer. Actor. Once a staple in the Hollywood lexicon of classic stars — the ability to sing, dance, and act is sadly no longer pivotal for Blockbuster stars of today. Our birthday boy, James Cagney was the very definition of a triple threat. Although most notably remembered as a Warner Brothers’ gangster, Cagney’s ability to belt a tune or tap his feet was on par with the Astaires and the Kellys of the classic movie world. So, I say we celebrate the day of Cagney’s birth by highlighting his often forgotten talents and, of course, his most memorable one!
